Hearts of Oak charge MTN FA Cup Committee to appoint 'competent' referee for final against Kotoko

Hearts of Oak want the MTN FA Cup Committee to appoint a competent referee for their MTN FA Cup final against rivals Asante Kotoko at the Tamale Sports Stadium on Sunday, 29 October.

With local referees often bastardized after matches between the two biggest sides in the country.

There were suggestions for the committee to bring in a foreign referee but that has been rejected by the organizers.

It looks like Hearts would not mind who will be appointed centre referee provided he can do the job.

''Once again it is the same thing that we are also calling for, fairness. There should not be any reason why anybody refereeing should not be fair, once there is fairness Hearts of Oak would return with the cup this year, we do not have fear for any opponent,'' the club's spokesperson Kwame Opare Addo said.

''If the committee brings any referee who is competent enough we are ready for the match.''

This year's MTN FA Cup final is under the promotional title 'The unmissable.'
